"Hey Tae, Happy Birthday" you whisper gently.

"Thank you for remembering, you're too kind" he chuckles.

You brake the hug and hand him the gifts. You didn't expect his face to light up like it did, your were expecting a lousy reply from the sight of bad gifts. But instead he gasped and did a little excited dance.

"Oh y/n, everything is so nice!! I wasn't expecting anything but a nice hug" he smiled.

"Well you got your hug" you grinned, "and you have a few poxy presents too" you said, sighing at the sight of your gifts.

Taehyung scowled at you for saying such things, "don't be so mean to yourself! I love everything, especially the invitation to a dinner! and Tannie will love this gift too" he said referring to Yeontan's new toy.

"Good, I'm glad" you smiled sheepishly. "I'm only here for a quick visit, sorry, but I will see you both soon" you wave.

"Wait, are you coming to Tae's party?" Jungkook asked and you knitted your eyebrows in confusion.

"What party?"

"I texted you, but you mustn't have seen it" he chuckled, "we are hosting Taehyung's Birthday party here tonight, we really hope you can come y/n" Jungkook said, Taehyung nodding vigorously in agreement behind him.

"Sure, sounds fun!" You beam. "What time?"

"Seven-ish?" Jungkook asked and you nod.

"Well I'll see you guys then" you wave and they return the gesture.

You then left to meet Jackson before you met his family.

This will be exciting, you sighed at your sarcastic thought.

-Jimin

Tae Tae.

Today is Tae Tae Day.

Oh, how much Jimin longed to wish Taehyung a Happy Birthday was crazy. It was the one day of the year where he felt he could really express his thankfulness for his friendship with Taehyung, and unfortunately he couldn't do that.

He was wallowing more then usual because of this, which didn't go unnoticed while having dinner.

He ate all his meals at an excessively long table. But the bad part was the fact that when they ate meals, Mrs. Choi was always there, observing there behavior towards one another. Even if she was only claiming to eat dinner with her nephew and her 'future niece-in law' as if that was something that would actually happen.

So at this particular dinner, where Jimin was upset about not being able to celebrate his best friends birthday, the company around him were questioning his behavior.

"What are you wallowing about?" Mrs. Choi inquired. Jimin didn't speak for a few minutes as he was thinking of what to answer with. He had to tread lightly with what he says, because the last thing he needs is for her to keep him in that house anymore longer.

"Nothing" he managed to say through a raspy voice. Jimin's voice was dry as he never speaks anymore. Who was he supposed to speak to?

Alex? The girl who abused his girlfriend and kept him from having a relationship of his choice.

Mrs. Choi? The woman who is constantly degrading Jimin's mother, and his girlfriend too? Not to mention she is working with his dad to keep him locked up in this prison-like house for the next 1081 days.

And yes, he was counting.

Or would he talk to the random people who worked around the house? That is just awkward as Jimin can be outgoing, but that's when he is in a comfortable atmosphere where there are a few friendly faces.

Which was not here.

So, in conclusion, he rarely used his voice.

But of course this answer didn't satisfy Mrs. Choi, "Don't be silly Jimin, what's bothering you?" she pushed. She would do anything to rattle him up.

But he refused to give in to her.

"Nothing" Jimin answered again.

"Jimin I will not tolerate your attitude" she chimes.

Jimin stood up abruptly, causing his chair to screech against the floor as he walked to the kitchen, leaving everyone else stunned, to give the kitchen staff the plate he had just had his dinner on.

He then makes his way back to his room to continue his sketch that he has been working on frequently.

Or that's what they thought he was doing.

This leaves Alex alone with a not-so-happy Mrs. Choi, as her nephew has just had another one of his so called 'tantrums'.

"What is up with him?" She asked and Alex shrugs, playing with the food on her plate.

"What's wrong with you?" She asked noticing Alex's behavior.

Alex's head shoots up to face her, "Nothing, I'm perfectly fine" she weakly smiled.

Everyone knew that Jimin was sad that he was taken from someone he loved.

But no one knew that Alex was also taken from someone who she held close to her heart.

"My brother, Mr. Park, told me that I wouldn't have any problems with you. He told me that you were anxiously waiting to be reunited with him. But now I can't help feel like you are not how Mr. Park described you" Mrs. Choi said, taking sips of her wine.

"I'm sorry I haven't met your expectations-"

"Don't be sorry! Just do your job!" Mrs. Choi snapped. "You have all day, everyday for the next three years to have him all to yourself. Why aren't you not spending your time wisely? The quicker the both of you are together, the longer you have to be surrounded by each other with no interruptions" she exclaimed.

"Why can't we just be friends?" Alex asked quietly, her tears beginning to brim in her eyes.

"Why you stupid brat! Your parents need a new generation!" She said, raising her voice the more she spoke. "This makes their companies look good knowing the owners kids are together and that they are in a serious relationship and what better way to show that then by having children! And marriage will follow" she exclaimed.

"But I don't want to have a child at my age" her tears began to trickle down her cheek, "I wouldn't be a good mother-"

"Who cares about wether you're a good mother or not! As long as there is a baby there, nothing else will matter" she seethes.

"But he doesn't love me, and I don't love him" she whispered quietly. "You should see the girl he is with, she is really kind and humble and she is so gorgeous, she really is. You would like her, she is really well mannered" she explained.

But what Alex didn't know is that Jimin may have left the room, but he left the door ajar hoping to hear their conversation if they came up with plans for him.

He did not expect this though.

She was defending Jimin and she was describing how good of a girlfriend you are.

She hit two birds with one stone without even knowing it.

He could forgive her now.

"And the guy I like" Alex began, "his name is Park Jinyoung, and he is really selfless and he is so caring. He always asked about my day and he would always be so interested in anything that involved me"

Mrs. Choi rolled her eyes and scoffed, "Oh please, what do the both of you know about anything? You are only in high school! You know nothing about feelings and emotions"

"Ask Jimin" Alex said in short.

"Pardon?" She glares.

"Ask Jimin about feelings and emotions, and see how he answers, because believe me, he knows what love feels like. Jimin has love, and his love is waiting for him at home. And she is suffering just as much as him" Alex spits.

"He is not suffering, don't exaggerate-"

"No, that's exactly what he's doing! He cries himself to sleep every single night. He wakes up when it is still dark outside, calling for y/n to come and find him. He doesn't talk to anyone, because he is always in his room, sketching portraits of her, because that's all he can do to see her!" She exclaims.

"No! That's a load of lies, he is just trying to go home and sleep with every girl he can! I've heard the stories of what he used to do! And quite frankly, the portraits? That's pathetic" she fumed.

Alex copies Jimin's actions from earlier and stands up abruptly, causing the chair to remake the same screeching noise.

"How dare you! He may have been like that. Past tense. But y/n is not like any other girl! She is so damn important to him that he went against his own father, just so he could have a chance with her! And also those portraits are works of art! Don't even think about degrading them!"

Jimin was surprised to say the least. She wasn't lying, he did do all of those things, he just didn't expect her to take any notice to it. It touched his heart how she defended him.

He misjudged the new Alex, he was too stubborn to think that she had changed, but she did, and he was sorry that he didn't believe her in the first place.

"I've never heard such idiocy! You stupid brat!" Mrs. Choi screeched as she walked closer to her. They were now dangerously close to one another.

"Just because your husband is always gone away from here because he doesn't love you, does not mean that love isn't real for other people!" Alex snapped, before she had realized what she had said.

And before she could apologize, the woman slapped her across her left cheek, leaving a stinging sensation under her skin there.

She then proceeded to pull at her hair, making Alex screech in pain. Jimin didn't hesitate to enter into the room and rush over to his aunt, forcing her to release the girls hair and taking her away from Alex.

Two men that were part of the security team around the house, came rushing into the room from the sound of screaming from a few moments ago.

Jimin let go of his strong hold that he had on his aunt. Both the women in the room were breathing heavily, and Alex was still crying.

Both the men went to get the two teenagers, one got Alex and the other got Jimin. And Mrs Choi began straightening the creases that may have formed on her pantsuit. Jimin gave Alex a sympathetic glance, and although Alex was having an awful time at the moment, the glance that Jimin did, gave her hope.

Mrs. Choi smirked, "You two need to learn, you both have no authority here. You will listen to what I tell you, agree with what I tell you and, most importantly, obey what I tell you" she spoke straightly, while pacing the floor in front of them. "Am I making myself clear?" She asked.

The both of them hesitated, but Jimin eventually nodded his head, throwing Alex off guard. She looked at him questionably, only causing Jimin to send her a glance which translated to her following his lead. So she nodded as well.

Mrs. Choi grinned, "Good, so then I want you two to be a couple, and you will do couple things" she ordered, and they both nodded.

She smiled evilly yet again and she sent them to their room, with a snarky 'bye bye' as they left.

When they arrived at the room, they both slowly plotted across to the bed, before sitting down and sighing.

"Thank you Alex" Jimin said quietly. She faced him, a surprised expression evident on her face.

"For what?"

"I heard what you said, about y/n and I, it meant a lot. Thank you" he weakly smiled.

"It's the least I could do" she returned the smile. "So are we okay now?" She asked with hope her glistening eyes. He chuckled and nodded.

"Yeah, yeah, we're okay" she breathed a breath of relief.

"So why did you agree to her conditions?" Alex asked.

"Because, we will only be tortured otherwise" he started, "What we need to do is pretend like we are together, pretend to be lovey dovey" he sighs.

Sure he was on good terms with Alex now, but that doesn't mean that he wants to be in a relationship with her. You're his one and only.

"Are you sure you're alright with that?"

"I have to be" he answered shortly. "Are you?"

"Well I'm not the one in a relationship" she said shyly.

"Well you could be if you asked Jinyoung out" he teasingly smiled. She covered her eyes and whined.

"I was hoping you didn't hear that"

"Well I did" he laughed, "but anyways, the more it looks like we are together, the longer they will leave us alone" he smiled.

"That's great, but there is one problem" she started, causing Jimin's eyebrows to knit in confusion. "They don't care if we are a couple, they want us to have a kid, don't you think they will realize that we are faking it after awhile?" She asked. It was a relevant question, but Jimin didn't know how to answer that.

"Well, I guess we will figure that out when they ask, but until then, your job is to pretend to be madly in love with me and I'll pretend to be madly in love with you" he smiled.

"Okay, So we are in a fake relationship?" she asked and Jimin nodded.

"Precisely"

He smiled and stood up from the bed, going to the bathroom to brush his teeth before he went to bed. But before he could Alex spoke.

"Wait Jimin?" She called. He turned around to face her.

"Hmm?"

"Doesn't that mean that we will have to kiss each other?"
